Great Egret (2, and a Snowy looking on): Blackpoint Wildlife Drive, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida, USA, January 2024 — Nothing so elegant as a Great Egret in display. After taking a 1000 shots of the Snowy Egrets dancing on the water one morning at Blackpoint Drive, I turned to concentrate on the Great Egret action…trying to catch wings open and some of the confrontational displays. Again, this was in a pool where there were at least 50 Snowies and 25 Great’s feeding avidly, so I had non-stop action to choose from. Spoiled for choice!
